Product works great if following instructions exactly. Had a part break after normal use. Contacted support and they right away tried to send me the broken piece. Unfortunately, customs denied the package 3 times. So, Thames & Kosmos sent me a whole new set! Thanks for such great customer service.

Fun for the candy loving kid

My box came with no shipping box around it and someone opened it. It was missing the candy, instructions and the billboard. Otherwise we were able to assemble it and the kids loved it! Amazon needs to make sure not to ship the box vulnerable like this. Either it opened in shipping or in the conveyor system and someone shoved by they thought belonged inside. Who knows. It was also missing a spring from factory. I used an old pen spring and stretched it out to match and it worked great. Assembly was easy but can be a bit flimsy on the obstacle course pieces. But it seems acceptable for what it is. I think it's worth the price though. Just not worth it if everyone is having parts fall out of the shipping box.

I did have to tape the back a bit so the coins would fall in the right place, but it's pretty cool! Great idea and pretty good execution. Candy was in good condition but I will not be including it. My kid will love putting random stuff in this and it's super cool that she can switch up the fall obstacles, but coins do flop out of it. Not perfect, but good value for under twenty bucks.

Kids will need assistance with this build and may lose interest with all of the pieces. Once built, it does not work as advertised. It works “sometimes” and not very well.
